Critics Review
A dark and thrilling page-turner that turns a dystopian eye on the past in an unnervingly contemporary way. All hail Megan Campisi
A dark and thrilling page-turner that turns a dystopian eye on the past in an unnervingly contemporary way. All hail Megan Campisi – Emma Donoghue, author of Room and The Wonder
Rich with imaginative and historical details, The Sin Eater is ultimately a timeless story of one woman regaining her power. I loved it from beginning to end – Christina Dalcher, author of Vox
Captivating … An original melding of mystery and alternate history * Booklist *
Richly imaginative and strikingly contemporary [and] very much reminiscent of The Handmaid’s Tale * Kirkus *
[A] rousing, impressive debut … Spellbinding * Publisher’s Weekly *
Magnificent … Hillary Mantel’s Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies brought new vividness and insight to the court of Henry VIII; in The Sin Eater, Megan Campisi brings as much or more energy to the court of Elizabeth I * New York Journal of Books *
